Oh well, it's long way to go from current 50k, and there's still a chance people who signed petition are going to be deported :D

lol. Of course they did.

That's funny, but stupid. People have a right to petition that their state withdraw from the Union. It won't happen, and it's an exercise in futility, but at least they're expressing their racism dissatisfaction in a polite, legal, nonviolent manner. As long as they all continue about their regular lives in a few months instead of keeping up this ridiculousness like they have the past 4 years -- seriously, he's the President. People who don't like it can move to another country -- but good luck finding a country more "conservative" than Texas.

This gets pretty annoying coming from leftists. I don't know your personally held ideologies or if this is just to try to straw man conservative individuals positions. I am sure there are people with racist leaning beliefs on both the left and the right.

That argument is just to try to belittle a conservative's position against Obama. If you really believe that most very conservative individuals are just Racists, sexists, and bigots then you don't have a proper understanding of their ideology and what they believe. Im sure a small number of them are those things. But I am sure that you will find at least the same number of people that are truly racist, sexist and bigots on the far left.

Relax man, it was a joke. The whole point of my post was pretty much much defending the rights of people to petition to secede, why'd you have to accentuate the one part where I was just taking a dig at Texas?

If I offended with my intensity, it was not my intention so sorry if I did. I probably focused more on that because it just stood out to me. I get tired of seeing that narrative all of the time in leftist circles. I am around them frequently and have to always try to correct their thinking. A lot of times I see a leftist minded individual talk about commonly agreed position and then they will stick in a quick cliche about "backwards thinking conservatives" and then sometimes when confronted they roll it off like just an unoffensive joke. It just seemed like another added shot to conservatives that most are just racist. I think I was feeling a bit anal that day anyways.
